Putting Your Bin Out for Collection

• Bins out
  Bins must be out by 5.30am on the day of collection. You must place your bins on the kerb or on the nature strip half a metre apart, and allow one metre at either end to allow for safe collection. It is important that bins are clear of trees, poles, cars and any other obstacle that may prevent the collection truck from servicing your bin.
• Overfilled bins
  It is important not to overfill your bin.  Generally speaking, if you cannot close your bin lid fully, you have overfilled your bin.
  If moving your bin out to the kerb on collection night is difficult due to its weight, it may be too heavy for our collection trucks as well.
  Do not place waste beside or on top of your bin as it will not be collected.
  If your bin is overfilled it may not be serviced.
  
  We recommend that you put your bins out the night before collection after 6pm, to allow for peak traffic and pedestrian flows to subside.
  If your bin is not put out on time, or if they are not placed appropriately, your rubbish will not be collected until your next scheduled collection service.
• Bins In
  Every effort must be made to return bins to properties by 6pm on the day of collection to keep your street clear of obstacles.

Please be advised that the current waste bins provided on the property will be replaced with Council-issued bins. This transition is being coordinated to ensure compliance with Council waste-management requirements.

At this stage, no action is required from homeowners. Once the Council confirms delivery dates and final arrangements, we will provide detailed instructions, including:

• When the existing bins will be collected.
• Where the new Council bins will be placed.
• How to correctly use and identify the new bins.
• Any updated waste-collection schedules or guidelines.

Please continue using the current bins as normal until further notice. We will issue additional communication as soon as the Council finalises the rollout timeline.

If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact the Customer Care team.

General rubbish bins

What goes into your general rubbish bin?
The contents of your general rubbish (red lidded) bin are sent to landfill.
It is important that we all do our part to reduce waste as much as possible, and do not place any recyclable or compostable items in the general rubbish bin, so that valuable resources do not go to waste.
Below is a list of some items that can and cannot be placed in your general waste bin.

Recycling bins

What goes into your recycling bin?

Rule number 1: Always remember to empty your recycling into the recycling (yellow lidded) bin loose. Plastic bags and soft plastics cannot go in the recycling bin. 

Food and Garden Organics

Council provides a Food and Garden Organics service (maroon lidded bin) which allows residents to recycle food and garden scraps. This means that residents can dispose of both garden and food waste in a sustainable way.

Please put your food scraps in the maroon  bin, not in your red bin. 

• Please do not leave hard rubbish on common property.
